I think I found his band members. This is from a show in March: Wallace Roney Tromba Emilio Modeste Sax Oscar Williams Piano Curtis Lundy Bass Eric Allen Drums Tromba? Italian for trumpet

I don't go out on New Years Eve, mostly because I'm old and can't stay awake that late. As a consolation I go to a show between Christmas and New Years. At Scullers (Boston) he's playing one night that week. I haven't stayed current with his work, it must be 10 years since I last listened to him - and based on this thread that seems to be the norm around here. Has anyone listened to him recently? Would you recommend hearing him? I can't locate info on who he is touring with so that adds to my hesitation.

I can ask him but like all old folks, he's stubborn. He also has sight issues which are taking up a lot of his time, 5 shots in each eye every other week and was hospitalized for a blood clot behind one of the eyes two weeks ago. I'm sure he's Dr'd out. So it's safe to assume there isn't a headset made where he can make adjustments?

Dad has hearing aids and was at the VA several times getting them adjusted. He was told they're new technologies and told they should work as you're all suggesting. Still, he complains that he can't hear higher voices and if he turns up the sensitivity on the aid the lower frequencies overwhelm him. He's not tech savvy, can't use an iPhone or computer and never goes on the internet. Thanks for the replies, they're most appreciated.

I know this is an unusual request. My dad lost some of his hearing when he was in the services. It was caused by a gun shot on a firing range. He has difficulty hearing mid range and upper range frequencies but has no difficulty hearing low range frequencies. The hearing aids on the market do little to help because boosting the high frequencies also boosts the lower end. I'd like to get him a set of headphones that he can use to listen to TV. I want to find a pair that lowers the higher frequencies into a range that he can hear without boosting the bass. Does such a product exist?

Cambridge Audio - Advent Speakers by Henry Kloss? I have a pair at home and rarely use them anymore. When I purchased them in the mid-80s I got them because I was told they're the best 'sit down and listen' to speakers on the market. I just checked on eBay, used sell for $80. I think I paid $400 back in the day.

March 27, 1948 Billie Holiday walks out onto stage for her first headline show at Carnegie Hall! She would sing 32 songs to a completely sold out house. Chairs had to be placed on stage to accommodate additional ticket sales. Soon this would be against New York City fire laws. William Gottlieb Photographer.

Plan B is a good idea. Keep a physical and digital copy stored locally and upload a copy to your favorite streaming service for cataloging and retrieving. I've had uploaded material disappear from Amazon so I don't assume that once uploaded, forever uploaded. Just last year Amazon purged most music uploads - and after requesting they don't delete my music, I still lost about 10% in the cloud. It was older music not available in their store. I am weary that I get the less compressed codex too. I love the benefits of streaming 'my music' for all the reasons stated above. One of the neat features of streaming is the statistics it provides. I have purchased enough music for my lifetime. If I were to listen 24/7/365 it would take me over 20 years to hear each tune once. It's because of this that I have become selective in what I own.
